TECHNICAL FIELD

The present application provides heteroaryl amide compounds that activate the STING pathway to produce interferons, which are useful in the treatment of various diseases including infectious diseases and cancer.

BACKGROUND

The innate immunity is the first line of defense against infection from foreign microorganisms including bacteria, viruses, parasites and other infectious threats, but it also responds to certain danger signals associated with cellular or tissue damage. This response is initiated by activation of so-called pattern recognition receptors that can detect different forms of foreign antigens, i.e. nucleic acids, peptides, carbohydrates, and more, which then lead to production of interferons, proinflammatory chemokines and cytokines, and anti-microbial peptides to fight infection (Palm and Medzhitov, Immunol Rev (2009) 227:221-233; Takeuchi and Akira, Immunol Rev (2009) 227:75-86; Beutler, Blood (2009) 113:1399-1407). STING (stimulator of interferon genes), also known as MITA, MPYS, ERIS, and TMEM173, is one of such pattern recognition receptors in the innate immune response that could detect cytosolic nucleic acids (Ishikawa and Barber, Nature (2008) 455:674-678). Direct binding of STING to its ligands induces a conformational change of the complex resulting in a downstream signaling cascade involving TBK1 activation, IRF-3 phosphorylation, and production of type I IFNs and other proinflammatory cytokines, such as TNF, IL-6 and IFNγ (Ishikawa and Barber, Nature (2008) 455:674-678).

Type I interferons play a central role in orchestrating host anti-viral response through inhibiting viral replication in infected cells, activating and enhancing antigen presentation and triggering the adaptive immune response through direct and indirect action on T and B cells (McNab et al, Nat Rev Immunol (2015) 15:87-103; Crosse et al, J Innate Immun (2018) 10:85-93). Therefore, this cytokine acts as a master regulator whose induction in the early stages of viral infection modulates downstream signaling cascades that promote both pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory responses. Thus type I IFNs have been evaluated as a therapeutic agent for chronic viral infection such as HCV and HIV (Enomoto and Nishiguchi, World J Hepatol (2015) 7:2681-2687; Azzoni et al, J Infect Dis (2013) 207:213-222; Lane et al, Ann Intern Med (1990) 112:805-11).

The use of type I interferons (IFNs) (the IFNα family and IFNβ) as potential antitumor agents has also been investigated (Kirkwood, Semin Oncol (2002) 29:18-26; Tarhini et al, J Immunol (2012) 189:3789-3793). IFNs have multiple anticancer mechanisms that include: direct inhibition on tumor cell proliferation and angiogenesis; induction of tumor-specific cytotoxic T cells: plus other immunoregulatory effects on antibody production, natural killer (NK) cell activation, macrophage function, delayed-type hypersensitivity, and major histocompatibility complex antigen expression (Hervas-Stubbs et al, Clin Cancer Res (2011) 17:2619-2627; Vannucchi et al, Curr Med Chem (2007) 14:667-679) Anticancer activity of type I IFNs has been demonstrated in patients with hematological malignancies (e.g., hairy cell leukemia) and solid tumors (e.g., renal cell carcinoma and malignant melanoma) (Quesada et al, N Engl J Med (1984) 310:15-18; Pizzocaro et al, J Clin Oncol (2001) 19:425-431; Garbe and Eigentler, Melanoma Res (2007) 17:117-127), however, the results and overall efficacy have been modest. This may be due to intrinsic resistance to IFN-induced cell death, to the short half-life (˜30 minutes) of intravenously or subcutaneously dosed IFN, to dose-limiting systemic toxicities, and/or to the development of neutralizing antibodies against recombinant IFN protein Thus, the development of an agent like a STING agonist to induce production of type I interferons will be of interest to the field. Currently, there are two different classes of STING agonists: cyclic dinucleotide and small molecule.

Cyclic dinucleotides (CDNs) can directly bind and activate STING, and the complex of bacterial CDN and STING has been confirmed by X-ray crystallography recently (Burdette and Vance, Nat Immunol (2013) 14:19-26). In mammalian cells, the primary sensor of cyclic double stranded DNA (dsDNA), namely cyclic GMP-AMP synthetase (cGAS), can convert those cyclic dsDNA into a mammalian CDN cGAMP (cyclic guanosine monophosphate-adenosine monophosphate; Gao et al, Cell (2013) 154:748-762). The interaction of cGAMP and STING has also been confirmed by X-ray crystallography (Cai et al, Mol Cell (2014) 54:289-296). Synthetic derivatives of cGAMP have been synthesized and showed excellent cellular potency to activate both mouse and human STING in vitro, as well as demonstrated good anti-tumor efficacy in preclinical mouse models (Corrales et al, Cell Rep (2015) 11:1018-1030).

Small molecules that can activate STING have also been identified, DMXAA (5,6-dimethylxanthenone-4-acetic acid) and CMA (10-carboxymethyl-9-acridanone) (Perera et al, J Immunol (1994) 153:4684-4697; Kramer et al, Antimicrob Agents Chemother (1976) 9:233-238).

These two chemically-unrelated compounds can activate the STING pathway, and block multiple viruses from replication (Guo et al, Agents Chemother (2015) 59:1273-1281; Cheng et al, Am J Respir Cell Mol Biol (2011) 45:480-488). Intriguingly, DMXAA demonstrates excellent anti-tumor activity in preclinical mouse models by priming CD8+ T cells responses to promote rejection of established tumors in a STING-dependent manner, inducing tumor necrosis through disruption of tumor vasculature, as well as augmenting cancer vaccine effect (Corrales et al, Cell Rep (2015) 11:1018-1030; Wallace et al, Cancer Res (2007) 67:7011-7019; Tang et al, Plos One (2013) 8:1-6). Unfortunately, both DMXAA and CMA were found to only bind and activate mouse STING, but not human STING (Caviar et al, EMBO J(2013) 32:1440-1450; Kim et al, ACS Chem Biol (2013) 8:1396-1401).

Hence, there is a need to develop small molecule entities that can activate human STING and induce upregulation of IRF3 and NFκB pathway, which can later lead to production of interferons and other proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines. This type of immunomodulating agents may be useful not only in infectious disease to activate innate immunity, but also in cancer, and as vaccine adjuvants. This application is directed to this need and others.

In some embodiments, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8 hydrogen atoms, attached to carbon atoms of “alkyl”, “alkenyl”, “alkynyl”, “aryl”, “phenyl”, “cycloalkyl”, “heterocycloalkyl”, or “heteroaryl” substituents or “—C₁₋₄ alkyl-”, “alkylene”, “alkenylene” and “alkynylene” linking groups, as described herein, are optionally replaced by deuterium atoms.

It is further appreciated that certain features of the invention, which are, for clarity, described in the context of separate embodiments, can also be provided in combination in a single embodiment (i.e., as if the embodiments are multiply dependent claims). Conversely, various features of the invention which are, for brevity, described in the context of a single embodiment, can also be provided separately or in any suitable subcombination.

At various places in the present specification, divalent linking substituents are described. It is specifically intended that each divalent linking substituent include both the forward and backward forms of the linking substituent. For example, —NR(CR′R″)_(n)— includes both —NR(CR′R″)_(n)— and —(CR′R″)_(n)NR—. Where the structure clearly requires a linking group, the Markush variables listed for that group are understood to be linking groups.

The term “n-membered” where n is an integer typically describes the number of ring-forming atoms in a moiety where the number of ring-forming atoms is n. For example, piperidinyl is an example of a 6-membered heterocycloalkyl ring, pyrazolyl is an example of a 5-membered heteroaryl ring, pyridyl is an example of a 6-membered heteroaryl ring, and 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-naphthalene is an example of a 10-membered cycloalkyl group.

As used herein, the phrase “optionally substituted” means unsubstituted or substituted. The substituents are independently selected, and substitution may be at any chemically accessible position. As used herein, the term “substituted” means that a hydrogen atom is removed and replaced by a substituent. A single divalent substituent, e.g., oxo, can replace two hydrogen atoms. It is to be understood that substitution at a given atom is limited by valency, that the designated atom's normal valency is not exceeded, and that the substitution results in a stable compound.

As used herein, the phrase “each ‘variable’ is independently selected from” means substantially the same as wherein “at each occurrence ‘variable’ is selected from.”

When any variable (e.g., R^(S)) occurs more than one time in any constituent or formula for a compound, its definition at each occurrence is independent of its definition at every other occurrence. Thus, for example, if a group is shown to be substituted with 1, 2, 3, or 4 R^(S), then said group may optionally be substituted with up to four R^(S) groups and R^(S) at each occurrence is selected independently from the definition of R^(S). Also, combinations of substituents and/or variables are permissible only if such combinations result in stable compounds; for example the combination of a first M group and second M group in the combination of two R groups are permissible only if such combinations of M-M result in stable compounds (e.g., M-M is not permissible if it will form highly reactive compounds such as peroxides having 0-0 bonds).

Administration may be topical (including transdermal, epidermal, ophthalmic and to mucous membranes including intranasal, vaginal and rectal delivery), pulmonary (e.g., by inhalation or insufflation of powders or aerosols, including by nebulizer; intratracheal or intranasal), oral, or parenteral. Parenteral administration includes intravenous, intraarterial, subcutaneous, intraperitoneal intramuscular or injection or infusion; or intracranial, e.g., intrathecal or intraventricular, administration. Parenteral administration can be in the form of a single bolus dose, or may be, for example, by a continuous perfusion pump. Pharmaceutical compositions and formulations for topical administration may include transdermal patches, ointments, lotions, creams, gels, drops, suppositories, sprays, liquids and powders. Conventional pharmaceutical carriers, aqueous, powder or oily bases, thickeners and the like may be necessary or desirable.

This disclosure also includes pharmaceutical compositions which contain, as the active ingredient, the compound of the disclosure or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, in combination with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers (excipients). In some embodiments, the composition is suitable for topical administration. In making the compositions of the disclosure, the active ingredient is typically mixed with an excipient, diluted by an excipient or enclosed within such a carrier in the form of, for example, a capsule, sachet, paper, or other container. When the excipient serves as a diluent, it can be a solid, semi-solid, or liquid material, which acts as a vehicle, carrier or medium for the active ingredient. Thus, the compositions can be in the form of tablets, pills, powders, lozenges, sachets, cachets, elixirs, suspensions, emulsions, solutions, syrups, aerosols (as a solid or in a liquid medium), ointments containing, for example, up to 10% by weight of the active compound, soft and hard gelatin capsules, suppositories, sterile injectable solutions, and sterile packaged powders.

In preparing a formulation, the active compound can be milled to provide the appropriate particle size prior to combining with the other ingredients. If the active compound is substantially insoluble, it can be milled to a particle size of less than 200 mesh. If the active compound is substantially water soluble, the particle size can be adjusted by milling to provide a substantially uniform distribution in the formulation, e.g. about 40 mesh.

The compounds of the disclosure may be milled using known milling procedures such as wet milling to obtain a particle size appropriate for tablet formation and for other formulation types. Finely divided (nanoparticulate) preparations of the compounds of the disclosure can be prepared by processes known in the art, e.g., see International App. No. WO 2002/000196.

Similar dosages may be used of the compounds described herein in the methods and uses of the disclosure.

The active compound can be effective over a wide dosage range and is generally administered in a pharmaceutically effective amount. It will be understood, however, that the amount of the compound actually administered will usually be determined by a physician, according to the relevant circumstances, including the condition to be treated, the chosen route of administration, the actual compound administered, the age, weight, and response of the individual patient, the severity of the patient's symptoms, and the like.

For preparing solid compositions such as tablets, the principal active ingredient is mixed with a pharmaceutical excipient to form a solid preformulation composition containing a homogeneous mixture of a compound of the present disclosure. When referring to these preformulation compositions as homogeneous, the active ingredient is typically dispersed evenly throughout the composition so that the composition can be readily subdivided into equally effective unit dosage forms such as tablets, pills and capsules. This solid preformulation is then subdivided into unit dosage forms of the type described above containing from, for example, about 0.1 to about 1000 mg of the active ingredient of the present disclosure.

The tablets or pills of the present disclosure can be coated or otherwise compounded to provide a dosage form affording the advantage of prolonged action. For example, the tablet or pill can comprise an inner dosage and an outer dosage component, the latter being in the form of an envelope over the former. The two components can be separated by an enteric layer which serves to resist disintegration in the stomach and permit the inner component to pass intact into the duodenum or to be delayed in release. A variety of materials can be used for such enteric layers or coatings, such materials including a number of polymeric acids and mixtures of polymeric acids with such materials as shellac, cetyl alcohol, and cellulose acetate.

The liquid forms in which the compounds and compositions of the present disclosure can be incorporated for administration orally or by injection include aqueous solutions, suitably flavored syrups, aqueous or oil suspensions, and flavored emulsions with edible oils such as cottonseed oil, sesame oil, coconut oil, or peanut oil, as well as elixirs and similar pharmaceutical vehicles.

Compositions for inhalation or insufflation include solutions and suspensions in pharmaceutically acceptable, aqueous or organic solvents, or mixtures thereof, and powders. The liquid or solid compositions may contain suitable pharmaceutically acceptable excipients as described supra. In some embodiments, the compositions are administered by the oral or nasal respiratory route for local or systemic effect. Compositions can be nebulized by use of inert gases. Nebulized solutions may be breathed directly from the nebulizing device or the nebulizing device can be attached to a face mask, tent, or intermittent positive pressure breathing machine. Solution, suspension, or powder compositions can be administered orally or nasally from devices which deliver the formulation in an appropriate manner.

Topical formulations can contain one or more conventional carriers. In some embodiments, ointments can contain water and one or more hydrophobic carriers selected from, for example, liquid paraffin, polyoxyethylene alkyl ether, propylene glycol, white Vaseline, and the like. Carrier compositions of creams can be based on water in combination with glycerol and one or more other components, e.g. glycerinemonostearate, PEG-glycerinemonostearate and cetylstearyl alcohol. Gels can be formulated using isopropyl alcohol and water, suitably in combination with other components such as, for example, glycerol, hydroxyethyl cellulose, and the like. In some embodiments, topical formulations contain at least about 0.1, at least about 0.25, at least about 0.5, at least about 1, at least about 2, or at least about 5 wt % of the compound of the disclosure. The topical formulations can be suitably packaged in tubes of, for example, 100 g which are optionally associated with instructions for the treatment of the select indication, e.g., psoriasis or other skin condition.

The amount of compound or composition administered to a patient will vary depending upon what is being administered, the purpose of the administration, such as prophylaxis or therapy, the state of the patient, the manner of administration, and the like. In therapeutic applications, compositions can be administered to a patient already suffering from a disease in an amount sufficient to cure or at least partially arrest the symptoms of the disease and its complications. Effective doses will depend on the disease condition being treated as well as by the judgment of the attending clinician depending upon factors such as the severity of the disease, the age, weight and general condition of the patient, and the like.

The compositions administered to a patient can be in the form of pharmaceutical compositions described above. These compositions can be sterilized by conventional sterilization techniques, or may be sterile filtered. Aqueous solutions can be packaged for use as is, or lyophilized, the lyophilized preparation being combined with a sterile aqueous carrier prior to administration. The pH of the compound preparations typically will be between 3 and 11, more preferably from 5 to 9 and most preferably from 7 to 8. It will be understood that use of certain of the foregoing excipients, carriers, or stabilizers will result in the formation of pharmaceutical salts.

The therapeutic dosage of a compound of the present disclosure can vary according to, for example, the particular use for which the treatment is made, the manner of administration of the compound, the health and condition of the patient, and the judgment of the prescribing physician. The proportion or concentration of a compound of the disclosure in a pharmaceutical composition can vary depending upon a number of factors including dosage, chemical characteristics (e.g., hydrophobicity), and the route of administration. For example, the compounds of the disclosure can be provided in an aqueous physiological buffer solution containing about 0.1 to about 10% w/v of the compound for parenteral administration. Some typical dose ranges are from about 1 μg/kg to about 1 g/kg of body weight per day. In some embodiments, the dose range is from about 0.01 mg/kg to about 100 mg/kg of body weight per day. The dosage is likely to depend on such variables as the type and extent of progression of the disease or disorder, the overall health status of the particular patient, the relative biological efficacy of the compound selected, formulation of the excipient, and its route of administration. Effective doses can be extrapolated from dose-response curves derived from in vitro or animal model test systems.

The compositions of the disclosure can further include one or more additional pharmaceutical agents such as a chemotherapeutic, steroid, anti-inflammatory compound, or immunosuppressant, examples of which are listed herein.

Labeled Compounds and Assay Methods

Another aspect of the present disclosure relates to labeled compounds of the disclosure (radio-labeled, fluorescent-labeled, etc.) that would be useful not only in imaging techniques but also in assays, both in vitro and in vivo, for localizing and quantitating STING in tissue samples, including human, and for identifying STING activators by inhibition binding of a labeled compound. Substitution of one or more of the atoms of the compounds of the present disclosure can also be useful in generating differentiated ADME (Adsorption, Distribution, Metabolism and Excretion.) Accordingly, the present disclosure includes STING assays that contain such labeled or substituted compounds.

The present disclosure further includes isotopically-labeled compounds of the disclosure.

An “isotopically” or “radio-labeled” compound is a compound of the disclosure where one or more atoms are replaced or substituted by an atom having an atomic mass or mass number different from the atomic mass or mass number typically found in nature (i.e., naturally occurring). Suitable radionuclides that may be incorporated in compounds of the present disclosure include but are not limited to ²H (also written as D for deuterium), ³H (also written as T for tritium), ¹¹C, ¹³C, ¹⁴C, ¹³N, ¹⁵N, ¹⁵O, ¹⁷O, ¹⁸O, ¹⁸F, ³⁵S, ³⁶Cl, ⁸²Br, ⁷⁵Br, ⁷⁶Br, ⁷⁷Br, ¹²³I, ¹²⁴I, ¹²⁵I and ¹³¹I. For example, one or more hydrogen atoms in a compound of the present disclosure can be replaced by deuterium atoms (e.g., one or more hydrogen atoms of a C₁₋₆ alkyl group of Formula (I) can be optionally substituted with deuterium atoms, such as —CD₃ being substituted for —CH₃). In some embodiments, alkyl groups of the disclosed Formulas (e.g., Formula (I)) can be perdeuterated.

One or more constituent atoms of the compounds presented herein can be replaced or substituted with isotopes of the atoms in natural or non-natural abundance. In some embodiments, the compound includes at least one deuterium atom. For example, one or more hydrogen atoms in a compound presented herein can be replaced or substituted by deuterium (e.g., one or more hydrogen atoms of a C₁₋₆ alkyl group can be replaced by deuterium atoms, such as —CD₃ being substituted for —CH₃). In some embodiments, the compound includes two or more deuterium atoms. In some embodiments, the compound includes 1-2, 1-3, 1-4, 1-5, or 1-6 deuterium atoms. In some embodiments, all of the hydrogen atoms in a compound can be replaced or substituted by deuterium atoms.

In some embodiments, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8 hydrogen atoms, attached to carbon atoms of alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, aryl, phenyl, cycloalkyl, heterocycloalkyl, or heteroaryl substituents or —C₁₋₄ alkyl-, alkylene, alkenylene and alkynylene linking groups, as described herein, are optionally replaced by deuterium atoms.

Synthetic methods for including isotopes into organic compounds are known in the art (Deuterium Fabeling in Organic Chemistry by Alan F. Thomas (New York, N.Y., Appleton-Century-Crofts, 1971; The Renaissance of H/D Exchange by lens Atzrodt, Volker Derdau, Thorsten Fey and Jochen Zimmermann, Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2007, 7744-7765; The Organic Chemistry of Isotopic Labelling by James R. Hanson, Royal Society of Chemistry, 2011). Isotopically labeled compounds can be used in various studies such as NMR spectroscopy, metabolism experiments, and/or assays.

Substitution with heavier isotopes, such as deuterium, may afford certain therapeutic advantages resulting from greater metabolic stability, for example, increased in vivo half-life or reduced dosage requirements, and hence may be preferred in some circumstances, (see e.g., A. Kerekes et. al. J. Med. Chem. 2011, 54, 201-210; R. Xu et. al. J. Label Compd. Radiopharm. 2015, 58, 308-312). In particular, substitution at one or more metabolism sites may afford one or more of the therapeutic advantages.

The radionuclide that is incorporated in the instant radio-labeled compounds will depend on the specific application of that radio-labeled compound. For example, for in vitro STING labeling and competition assays, compounds that incorporate ³H, ¹⁴C, ⁸²Br, ¹²⁵I, ¹³¹I or ³⁵S can be useful. For radio-imaging applications ¹¹C, ¹⁸F, ¹²⁵I, ¹²³I, ¹²⁴I, ¹³¹I, ⁷⁵Br, ⁷⁶Br or ⁷⁷Br can be useful. It is understood that a “radio-labeled” or “labeled compound” is a compound that has incorporated at least one radionuclide. In some embodiments, the radionuclide is selected from the group consisting of ³H, ¹⁴C, ¹²⁵I, ³⁵S and ⁸²Br.

The present disclosure can further include synthetic methods for incorporating radio-isotopes into compounds of the disclosure. Synthetic methods for incorporating radio-isotopes into organic compounds are well known in the art, and an ordinary skill in the art will readily recognize the methods applicable for the compounds of disclosure.

A labeled compound of the disclosure can be used in a screening assay to identify/evaluate compounds. For example, a newly synthesized or identified compound (i.e., test compound) which is labeled can be evaluated for its ability to bind activate STING by monitoring its concentration variation when contacting with STING, through tracking of the labeling. For example, a test compound (labeled) can be evaluated for its ability to reduce binding of another compound which is known to bind to STING (i.e., standard compound). Accordingly, the ability of a test compound to compete with the standard compound for binding to STING directly correlates to its binding affinity. Conversely, in some other screening assays, the standard compound is labeled and test compounds are unlabeled. Accordingly, the concentration of the labeled standard compound is monitored in order to evaluate the competition between the standard compound and the test compound, and the relative binding affinity of the test compound is thus ascertained.

Kits

The present disclosure also includes pharmaceutical kits useful, for example, in the treatment or prevention of STING-associated diseases or disorders (such as, e.g., cancer, an inflammatory disease, a cardiovascular disease, or a neurodegenerative disease) which include one or more containers containing a pharmaceutical composition comprising a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of the disclosure. Such kits can further include, if desired, one or more of various conventional pharmaceutical kit components, such as, for example, containers with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, additional containers, etc., as will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art. Instructions, either as inserts or as labels, indicating quantities of the components to be administered, guidelines for administration, and/or guidelines for mixing the components, can also be included in the kit.

The invention will be described in greater detail by way of specific examples. The following examples are offered for illustrative purposes, and are not intended to limit the invention in any manner. Those of skill in the art will readily recognize a variety of non-critical parameters which can be changed or modified to yield essentially the same results.

EXAMPLES

Preparatory LC-MS purifications of some of the compounds prepared were performed on Waters mass directed fractionation systems. The basic equipment setup, protocols, and control software for the operation of these systems have been described in detail in the literature (see e.g. “Two-Pump At Column Dilution Configuration for Preparative LC-MS”, K.

Example A. IRF3 and NF-kB Activation Assays

THP-1 Dual Cells (Invivogen) were maintained in RPMI1640 medium with addition of 10% FBS, 100 μg/mL zeocin, 10 μg/mL blasticidin. Cells were added in a 96-well flat bottom assay plate at 100,000 per well in 100 μL complete RPMI medium. Test compounds were prepared by serial dilution in complete RPMI medium and 100 μL test compounds were transferred to each corresponding well. The assay plate was incubated at 37° C. 5% CO₂ for 24 hours. After the overnight incubation, 20 μL of the culture supernatants were collected, followed by addition of 180 μL of QUANTI-Blue (Invivogen) to assess IRF3 activity. The amount of IRF3 activation was assessed by reading the absorbance at 620-655 nm with a microplate reader 2 hours later. The culture supernatant from the untreated THP-1 cells was used as the negative control. To determine the NF-κB activation, another 20 μL of culture supernatant were transferred to a 96-well white plate, followed by addition of 50 μL of Quanti-Luc™ assay solution (Invivogen). The amount of NF-κB activation induced by the test compounds were determined by the luminescence above the untreated control. EC₅₀ determination was performed by fitting the curve of percent control activity versus the log of the compound concentration using the GraphPad Prism 6.0 software.

EC₅₀ in activating IRF3 for the compounds of the Examples are presented in Table 1.
